The Onion buys Infowars?

That's what I figured you were getting at, but frankly, that seems like a waste. I'm no fan of Alex Jones. I think he's a scumbag, but his name is his brand. Not Infowars. He'll quickly pivot and re-emerge. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he already had a contingency plan ready to go in the event something like this happened. Seems like this is a situation where they allowed their emotions to make a decision that won't have the intended consequences. Perhaps there is more to it than what we're discussing.

 

Someone should let AJ know how easy it is to just rebrand somewhere else. He is hysterically panicked. Says the auction was rigged (uh oh, no mucho dinero!), it's a free speech attack (he also doesn't understand what 1A and most of the rest of the Constitution), and that he plans to physically resist displacement.

Hopefully someone lets him know how much he owned this whole process so he can calm down a bit!

 

As far as I can tell its the same plan he's always had, keep grifting rubes to buy scamy supplements until it blows up again

 

So a guy who built his career on lies, conspiracy theories and a lot of sensationalized acting is now acting hysterically panicked and you believe that? Now I see how Alex Jones became what he did. He's even able to fool his detractors.

 

Its called method acting, he's really selling the performance because now he's living it

 

Probably a natural fit. The Onion writers can learn a thing or two about creating funny fiction from the Infowars folks.
